I am fascinated with times past. ”

To me, length is an artificial and arbitrary factor in a film. ”

I spent 20 years of my career primarily being a writer for hire. ”

I think once you've finished a movie you really have to detach from it so that you can come back and watch it as an audience member. ”

Boy, I'd hate to shoot on tape or disc or whatever the hell they're talking about. I love film. ”

And I don't think I'm giving away any secrets here, but there are a lot of terrible scripts in this town. ”

One of my favorite movies of all time is 'It's A Wonderful Life,' which is a pretty interesting choice for a seasonal Christmas favorite, because it's about a guy who wants to commit suicide and is presented with reasons not to. ”

The Exorcist' is amazing because it recognizes that silences can be as powerful as sound effects. ”

The human race is fundamentally insane. If you put two of us into a room together, we're soon gonna start figuring out good reasons to kill one another. ”

Stanley Kubrick was a big inspiration. People accuse me of never using my own material. But when did Kubrick? You look at his films and they are completely unique... completely separate entities. ”
